Women's Humane Society

3839 Richlieu Road

Bensalem, PA 19020.

We are a not-for-profit organization as designated by IRS Section 501 (C) (3), and your donations are tax-deductible as allowable by law.  

We can use the following items for homeless animals:

• Unopened cans and bags of dog and cat food 
• Clean towels (please read below for more information on blankets and sheets)
• Blue or blue bordered-on-the-back Acme and Sav A Tape member Redner's receipts (You must use your Sav A Tape card at check out at Redners in order for their receipts to qualify).
• Clay cat litter  (we do not need scoopable or clumping cat litter.  We change our pans daily and these litters are designed and priced for long term use)
• Newspapers- We line our cat and small animal cages with standard-sized, non-shiny newpapers.  To further assist us, you may pull the shiny paper and odd-sized circulars or magazines and donate neatly stacked standard-sized sections.
• Pine chips or Yesterday's News bedding product (no cedar chips please, the cedar oils are an irritant to the tender nasal passages in small animals. Some argue that strong pine smelling chips can have the same affect. The safest bedding is a product called Yesterday's News made from compressed newsprint.)
• Bottles of bleach. Bleach is used to clean animal areas.

 The following items are offered to the visiting and adopting public. They help pets transition successfully into a new home:

• Dog crates, cat carriers, bird and small animal cages. New or used are fine.
• Pet toys.  Nylabones, Gumabones, Boodabones, Kong toys, and Rhino Rubber toys. New are preferred for health reasons.  Please no cat nip as cats' responses vary and can include cats becoming aggressive.
• Scratching posts or boxes
• No-pull harnesses
• Canine seat belts

Kindly refrain from donating the following:

• As of June 6, 2009, our food storage capabilities are maximized.  We will post accordingly when this changes.
• Most treats contain ingredients that further increase the risk of digestive upset.  High quality treats contain primarily meat with rice as the primary filler.  Corn is a popular affordable base for pet treats, has some nutritional benefits, but can not be tolerated in large amounts by some dogs and is more difficult to digest than rice.  It can lead to diarrhea in the stressful life of a homeless dog.  Similarly, the food colorings used in some food and treats can contribute to stomach upset.  We typically get more treats than we can forward to adopters or use with shelter animals.
• We kindly request that you hold onto blankets until the winter months as storing blankets in our facility during the summer months can result in mice who take up residence with us to find prime real estate in the blankets, then when we take them out for use in the winter, they are chewed and soiled.
• Sheets or sheet sets.  We line our cages with newsprint, blankets, and towels.  Sheets do not offer the warmth that we use a blanket to provide and an animal coming out of anethesia can become tangled in sheets.  While can can tear sheets for cleaning purposes, we typically receive enough donations for this purpose.
• Pallets of bleach.  When stored over time,bleach can loose its potency.  For health reasons, we need our bleach as strong as possible and request or make purchases of gallon-sized containers

The following suggestion was forwarded by a pet lover and is included here in her words:

I am an animal lover and have rescued many pets etc over the course of my life.... so I am sending this idea out to addresses of non-profit  rescue organizations who are always looking to get  assistance to improve the quality of their wonderful cause!
